Russell Hawkins of Marion reflects on a lifetime of stamp collecting begun in 1915 after sorting through a trash barrel. The 73 year old and Cedar Rapids Stamp Club’s only charter member will be honored at the club's 50th anniversary show while recalling a 1972 burglary that wiped out a portion of his collection.
